Chicago Steel: Goals vs. Assists Insights
• Timothy Kazda emerged as the team’s most complete offensive producer, combining elite playmaking with strong finishing ability and sitting among the leaders in both assists and goals.
• Jackson Crowder, Dallas Vieau, Brady Kudrick, Adyn Merrick, and James Scantlebury formed a productive offensive core, each generating significant assist totals while contributing double-digit goal production.
• Tobias Öhman stood out as a pass-first playmaker, ranking among the team leaders in assists while generating a smaller share of his points through goal scoring.
• Ryland Rooney was one of the club’s most efficient finishers, recording a high goal total relative to his assist count and finishing well above the goals-to-assists trend line.
• Offensive production from the blue line was limited compared with the forwards, with Cole Tuminaro and Marco Senerchia leading defensemen in scoring while most defensemen contributed primarily through puck movement and defensive responsibilities.
Chicago Steel: Team Dashboard Insights
• Chicago finished with a perfectly even 27-27-6-2 record (.500 points percentage), but the Team Identity Map shows the club operating below league average in both goals scored (3.2 per game) and goals prevented (3.6 against per game), contributing to a -23 goal differential.
• Offensive production was spread across several players rather than concentrated in one superstar. Jackson Crowder (46 points), Dallas Vieau (42), Timothy Kazda (41), Brady Kudrick (40), and Adyn Merrick (40) formed a balanced scoring group.
• The Steel’s highest-producing players generally posted modest plus-minus figures, suggesting that offensive contributions were often offset by defensive challenges. Jackson Crowder, Brady Kudrick, and Luke Goukler were among the few top scorers who finished on the positive side of plus-minus.
• Dallas Vieau was a notable outlier, producing 42 points despite a minus-20 rating, highlighting his offensive impact on a team that struggled with overall goal differential.
• Chicago received solid goaltending performances despite the team’s defensive issues. Veeti Louhivaara posted the strongest save percentage (just above .900) while handling a significant workload, and Louis-Félix Charrois carried the largest share of starts and wins, helping keep the Steel competitive throughout the season.
